Will it be more cumbersome than it is worth to pursue these repairs if I have to do so in the U.S.? Any other things I should consider? I have been browsing various U.S. sites and in many cases I can do much better even after factoring in the tariffs and taxes.
Thanks in advance for taking the time to reply to this.

The warranty issue is a big one. I don't know where you live, but if you buy a camera intended for sale in the US, that's where you'll have to send it should it need repair.
